...recommendation which we believe is of very great importance and one which should receive the immediate and careful attention of every man interested in Harvard scholarship. This recommendation is to the effect that less importance be laid upon final examinations and that greater stress be placed upon frequent hour examinations. In most courses, under the present system, practically all the emphasis is placed upon a student's showing in the mid-year and final examinations. To such an extent is this true that the marks in these make from one-half to three-fourths of the mark of the year...
With the race but three days away, the University crew is in a very critical stage of its development. It is now emerging from an extremely bad slump, in which, in spite of many and frequent changes, it seemed impossible to find exactly the right combination. Nearly two weeks ago Newton was put in at stroke, and improvement has been steady since then; nevertheless the eight is not yet entirely together, and the recovery is not smooth enough.

...small class of men. The pride of the college in that they are the "all-around" men, well balanced, often brilliant both in studies and "outside interests", they bear the burdens which the less energetic do not care to assume. The result is that the breakdowns are all too frequent among this small group. And, after all, we wonder if those who succeed in the struggle are any better equipped for their life work after they have thus tested their capacities to the utmost. Granting that they occasionally are brilliant men in after life, we believe that the percentage...
